pharmacological activity | baicalein, also known as baicalin yuan, is an important pharmacodynamic active ingredient in traditional Chinese medicine scutellaria baicalensis (ScutellariabaicalensisGeorge) and wood butterfly (Oroxylumindicum), with significant antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, antibacterial, antiviral, anti-tumor and other pharmacological activities. |
Biological activity | Baicalein are CYP2C9 and prolyl endopeptidase inhibitors. |
Target | Value |
Uses | A flavonoid compound that is a xanthine oxidase inhibitor. It has anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, diuretic, choleretic, cholesterol-lowering, anti-thrombosis, and asthma relief. It is also a specific inhibitor of salivary enzymes in mammalian liver, which has the effect of regulating certain diseases. In industry, baicalin protophosphate is prepared from it as a raw material for allergies and asthmatic pneumonia, as well as astringents and hemostatic drugs. |
production method | 1. extract scutellaria baicalensis root, pulverize and boil with water for 3 times, combine the extracts, add acid to adjust the ph value to 4 after filtration, stir with slight heat, stand still, centrifuge to separate the precipitate. The sediment is washed with water with a ph of 4 and dried to produce crude products. The crude product is refluxed and hydrolyzed in 1.2?mol · L-1 hydrochloric acid with boiling water for several hours, and the precipitated product is scutellarin by cooling and filtering. |
